Bacon v. BO

I am no goody-two-shoes by any means. I enjoy a cold frosty (as my Con Law teacher likes to call it) as much as the next girl, and I have a couple of speeding tickets to my name (one of which is unpaid at this moment in time--EEK). I even think marijuana should be legalized!

That being said, let me emphasize something....MARIJUANA IS NOT LEGALIZED AT THIS TIME. This means that it is ILLEGAL. And especially because of this fact, I do not approve of its use. I do not want to see evidence of your illegal activities. I do not want to see you commit said illegal activity in front of me. And I will not stifle my reaction to something that is illegal if it is performed in my presence.

I'm a firm believer in the phrase "to each his own." Even with my support of marijuana's future use, I still don't want to have to smell it, be subjected to the negative impact it may have on your driving, or have to listen to your ridiculous rantings or food cravings while you are as high as a kite--and this goes whether it is legal or not. Personally, the smell of pot makes me want to hurl. I literally dread the first few moments on the bus because I'm unsure whether I will be swamped with the hideously disgusting aroma of "eau de MJ." I realize this is a personal reaction--I'm not sure why it's such a repulsive smell to me, but I'm not lying when I tell you it literally makes me throw up in the back of my mouth.

You are entirely entitled to your own beliefs regarding marijuana. But please don't kid yourself when you're saying you're doing it because you shouldn't be punished for it and that the government is being unreasonable...this makes it no less illegal and no less punishable under color of the law.

And even though you're convinced marijuana smells just like bacon does not mean it does not smell like overwhelming BO to me.
